Sultan Al Neyadi, one of the first two astronauts from theUnited Arab Emirates (UAE), has completed one month on the International Space Station (ISS), which involves five space agencies: the United States NASA, Japan's JAXA, Europe's ESA, Russia's Roscosmos, and Canada's CSA.
The Emirati experienced astronaut has spent much of his time doing maintenance work and complex science investigations at ISS.

He went to the ISS on March 3. The UAE astronaut launched into space with three other Crew-6 members on a SpaceX Falcon-9 rocket on March 2. On March 14, he wrote on Twitter, “No matter where I am in the world, my path always leads me home. And even from Space, the site of our beautiful country takes my breath away every time.” He shared his first photo of the UAE from the orbiting laboratory. Last month, he spoke with the UAE public during a series of live calls from the ISS. Salem Al Marri, director general of the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre, lauded his efforts. 
The Emirati astronaut is expected to work on over 200 experiments and research work by US NASA and various UAE universities. He has been assigned to study human heart tissue as part of his research.
His journey into space will be six months. He is the first astronaut from any Arab country to spend six months on the ISS. He is expected to be in charge of doing scientific work.
He is expected to complete the work assigned to him by Nasa, the Mohammed bin Rashid Space 
Centre and other 19 UAE universities. According to The National, he can also perform the first spacewalk by an Arab astronaut. 
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the vice president, prime minister, and minister of defence of the UAE talked with Sultan Al Neyadi in March through a live video link-up on Nasa TV.
